Example of 1/500 shutter

This is an image that I took of my little sister on the beach near our home in California. I wanted to capture her energy - and since I was outside and the sun was just about to set, I had PLENTY of light. I bumped my shutter up to 1/500 of a second so that I could get her jumping up in the air. I wanted it to be crisp and not blurry.
